"Yea, see thou thy children`s children. Peace be upon Israel." — Psalms 128:6 (ASV)
Yea, you shall see your children's children
A numerous race of descendants from him, which are the crown and glory of old men, (Proverbs 17:6) ; this is also true of Christ's spiritual children by his church in successive ages, (Isaiah 59:21) ;
[and] peace upon Israel :
all kind of prosperity, temporal and spiritual; peace, and abundance of it; as will be in the latter day, in the spiritual reign of Christ, (Psalms 72:8) . It may be considered as a wish or prayer, with which the psalm is concluded; let "peace be upon Israel" F1 , as in (Psalms 125:5) ; see (Galatians 6:16) .
